Sec. 29-124 (d)
The County Commission shall not delete or materially change any County project contained in the list attached as Exhibit 1 to this ordinance nor add any project to the list except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection (d). A proposed deletion, material change or addition of a County project shall be initially reviewed by the Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust ("Trust"), which shall forward a recommendation thereon to the County Commission. The County Commission may either accept or reject the Trust's recommendation. If the County Commission rejects the recommendation, the matter shall be referred back to the Trust for its reconsideration and issuance of a reconsidered recommendation to the County Commission. The County Commission may approve, change or reject the Trust's reconsidered recommendation. A two-thirds vote of the Commission membership shall be required to take action other than as contained in the reconsidered recommendation of the Trust. The foregoing notwithstanding, the list of County projects contained in Exhibit 1 may be changed as a result of the MPO process as mandated by federal and state law.
